Searching
If I gaze into the sky, will I see you there?
A familiar face among the clouds floating by?
I would do anything for one more moment to share.
Searching, I may not find you, at least I must try.
As dawn slowly fills the sky, giving light to a new day.
Will I awaken and find it was all a dream?
You will be beside me, in the same place you always lay.
You will laugh at me, telling you how real it did seem.
But in reality I woke and you were not there.
In that moment, I felt an unbearable wave of pain.
The overwhelming disappointment leaves me in despair.
The beautiful morning darkens as it cries tears of rain.
We shared life, from a special to an ordinary day.
Then a day remained in darkness, and you were gone.
Devastated, I asked how it could have happened this way?
I was lost, I couldn't accept the thought of going on.
Together we travelled down life's uncertain road.
I laughingly called you my biggest fan.
I wonder how I will manage to carry the load.
Without sharing your strength, I don't know that I can.
The air around me suddenly turned cold the day you died.
Deep within, there is nothing but a never ending chill.
I will no longer feel your constant warmth at my side.
So I will search for you everywhere, everyday...until.
